Project A (1983)

A clock-tower fall turns Jackie Chan's affection for silent comedy into a startling physical event. The awnings briefly interrupt the drop, and the pause before it lets anticipation become part of the gag. Around that set piece, Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao give the period pirate adventure a wonderfully elastic group rhythm. Choose it when you want stunt work to be funny through timing and spatial surprise, rather than through an added punchline.
